Abstract: Liquid fuel consuming apparatus for use as a devotional candle or votive light arrangement comprises a reservoir (10) housing a horizontally oriented tubular shape with a series of holes (16) in its top face aligned with an equal series of fuel holding wells (14) provided on an insert (12) located in the reservoir (10). A non-removable wick (18) in a holding tube (20) is provided in each aligned hole and well with its top above the hole (16) and its bottom in the well (14). Means (22), (24) are provided to fill the wells (14) with fuel from a tank (26). Through capilliary action fuel passes up the wick (18).

Granted: 1993-05-12
Abstract: The invention relates to a cross-lapper (1) with at least two rotating conveyor bands (6, 7) and at least two carriages (4, 5) moved in a reversing manner and accelerated at the reversal points of their travel. To influence the pile thickness in a controlled manner, the band running speed and the travelling speed of the carriages are uncoupled from one another between the acceleration phases and are set differently in relation to one another. For this, there are separate drives (14, 15), especially servo-drives, at least one of which has a freely programmable control (15, 13). In the travel zones between the reversal points of the carriages (4, 5), a constant or variable speed difference in relation to the conveyor bands (6, 7) is produced, this being expressed in a change in the deposited pile thickness (9). When the carriages (4, 5) move faster, the pile becomes thicker, and with the opposite speed difference the pile thickness becomes smaller.

Granted: 1996-02-28
Abstract: A fuel injection system for a spark-ignition internal combustion engine in which combustion air is fed through an air flow meter to produce an input force whose strength is proportional to the mass-volume of the air. This input force actuates the valve member of a valve mechanism to whose input is supplied fuel at constant pressure, the valve member being displaced to an extent determined by the strength of the input force. The valve mechanism includes a fuel output chamber in which the pressure of fuel therein is a function of valve member displacement, this pressure being applied as a countervailing force to the valve member to cause it to assume a null-balance position at which the resultant mean fuel pressure yielded by the output chamber is proportional to the mass-volume of the combustion air, thereby attaining optimum fuel-air ratio conditions throughout a broad operating range.
